Letter: An honest man

I have known Mike Carr since the 1980s and he has always been a Republican leader for honest government.

Years ago, he helped to clean up our local government. In fact, Gov. Jeb Bush thought enough of Mike to appoint him to the Florida Commission on Ethics so he could help lead the fight for honest government all across the state.

Mike is an fair judge and he stands up for what is right. We need more judges like him.

The Ticket Clinic law firm is financing a campaign for Stephen Smith, one of its attorneys, who lives and works on the east coast of Florida. He has no connection to Collier and does not have a vested interest in our great county.

What he does care about, however, is helping his law firm handle tickets. One could even make the argument that the Ticket Clinic is angry with our county judges because they will not fix their tickets. It appears that the firm wants clients to escape punishment for traffic offenses, even if they committed the violations.

Please vote for an honest and fair judge, Mike Carr. A vote for him is a vote to protect our county's legal system from being bought and sold by lawyers who are just looking for one more business.
